As a USRC member or as a non-member event participant I fully understand that the USRC is a hobby club made up of people interested in the rottweiler breed. I further understand that by their very nature, sporting activities involving dogs have a potentially increased risk of personal injury and property damage. Furthermore, when participating in USRC sanctioned events or utilizing the membership privileges extended to me by USRC, I do not expect to receive any type of financial gain either personal or business related from the outcome of events or from the issuing of titles by judges or from the issuance of USRC related paperwork and materials. In consideration of the acceptance of this entry and the holding of this event and of the opportunity to have the dog judged and have the opportunity to win prizes, ribbons or trophies, I (We) agree to hold the USRC, the host club, the members, directors, governors, agents, supervisors, volunteers, employees or judges, apprentice judges or individual judging this event free from liability and harmless from any claim, loss, injury or lawsuit as a result of any judging activities. I (We) agree that any cause of action, controversy or claim arising out of or related to the entry, exhibition, judging or attendance at the event between the USRC and the host club or as to the construction, interpretation and effect of this agreement shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. However, as a precondition to arbitration all applicable USRC bylaws, rules and regulations and procedures must first be followed as set forth in the USRC bylaws, rules, regulations, published policies and guidelines. I (We) certify and represent that the dog entered is not hazard to persons or other dogs. This entry is submitted for acceptance on the foregoing representation and agreement in the USRC rules, regulations, policies and guidelines are available on the USRC website www.usrconline.org.
